[edit] Plot
This small series is set during the final stages of the First Cylon War. It focuses on a much more youthful William Adama (aka “Husker”) in his fighter pilot days aboard Galactica whilst on a an important mission to uncover, what the ship’s crew had dubbed as, a Cylon “super weapon” on a mysterious icy planet. The webisode series starts on the 4,571st day of the war (about 40 years before the nuclear holocaust on the Twelve Colonies of Kobol) where Galactica is confronted with another Cylon threat while Adama faces his own problems with a fatally injured loved one in a Raptor incident and later crashlanding on the nearby planet only to confronted by an unexpected reality of what the Cylons were working on.
